The 2012 Tournament of Destruction is remembered for intense racing, crazy carnage and the beginning of a new tradition. The monthly, unique themed events began with the first-ever Military Appreciation Night on May 26th.

Each team created an elaborate, military-inspired design to feature on one of their cars. The incredible "S.S. Hammer" from Stranglehold was the leader of the fleet.

Stranglehold's cars were always the pinnacle of visual perfection and the Coast Guard design was their best work to date. Full vinyl wrap, hood logo, trunk logo, decals... everything.

#50 Bill "the Hammer" Mcmahen put it into battle against Mean Green Machine and it wasn't long until the glossy finish was bask in mud & mayhem.

Stranglehold was defeated by the eventual Champions of the event, but they successfully established the high watermark for Team Demolition Derby military-themed car designs.
